Elon Musk has offered to buy Twitter and the Twitter board has accepted the offer, which probably surprised some people. I know it surprised me. I thought it was just another one of his attention getting stunts. Social Media platforms have people talking about the future of Twitter and some folks have already jumped ship. Is the privatization of Twitter under Elon Musk a good thing or the end for the platform?
Free Speech on Twitter, Can Elon Do it?
Elon has stated that free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and the platform is the “digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.” I agree with Elon about the importance of debate in a democratic society to find real solutions. However, what I have witnessed on Twitter, like the halls of parliament, there is more yelling and less listening going on. Neither side of any debate is willing to compromise or even try to understand the other side.
